Why Choose CPM Pros

Why airport programs need specialists

Airside operational constraints
AOA access windows and runway protection zones are calendars and logic in the schedule, so airside work is sequenced before mobilization, not negotiated after. We have built airside constraints into P6 schedules for terminal expansions, concourse renovations, and runway programs across multiple major airports.
Phased terminal occupancy — airports never close
We schedule construction around live terminal operations — coordinating gate swings, baggage system cutover, and interim hold rooms without disrupting passenger flow. Phasing logic is built into the baseline from day one, not retrofitted when operations complain.
One schedule for the authority, the airlines and the GC
Airport construction involves the authority, airlines, FAA, TSA, and concessionaires. We maintain a single integrated schedule that keeps the authority, the airlines and the GC on the same dates, with milestone reporting tailored to each audience's requirements and reporting cadence.
Owner's rep schedule oversight
We independently review contractor schedules for logic errors, missing FAA milestones, and float manipulation before your critical path is compromised. Our monthly narrative reports give the authority a clear written account of contractor performance.
Delay analysis and claim defense
Aviation programs are complex and contested. We verify TIA methodology and provide forensic schedule analysis to protect the authority's position in delay claims, contract disputes, and litigation involving airside, terminal, or landside construction.

Questions GCs and Airport Owners Ask
Can you build the baseline the airport authority's spec requires?

Yes. General contractors and trade contractors send the spec and drawings; the Primavera P6 baseline comes back built to the section the authority's reviewer will check it against, with AOA access windows and runway protection zones in the schedule as calendars and logic. It is revised until the authority accepts it.

How do you schedule work inside an operating terminal?

Gate swings, baggage system cutovers and interim hold rooms are phases in the baseline from day one, sequenced around live operations. The schedule shows what each phase needs from the airport before it can start, so the next phase is planned, not negotiated after the fact.

Do you include FAA and TSA milestones?

Yes. FAA and TSA milestones are activities in one integrated schedule that keeps the authority, the airlines and the GC on the same dates, with milestone reporting set to each audience's cadence.

Do you also review contractor schedules for the airport?

Yes, for authorities and their program managers: an independent review of the contractor's baseline and monthly updates for logic gaps, missing FAA milestones and float manipulation, with a written monthly narrative.
